On the one hand, we have a poor misguided Republican man who had a romantic thing for young boys.

*Yeah, right. "...poor,misguided...man...with a romantic thing...? That is an asbsolutely detestable framing of Foley's crimes. That formulation is sympathetic and seems to ecpress compassion for that miserable bastard who was courting catamites among those for whom he is supposed to be acting in loco parentis.

And what about his victims?

Of course Foley has now run oft to some drug rehab center and we can boo hoo over his addiciton to alcohol too.

Poiticising the issue is to be expected - all the bastards are politicans and act politically.

But, Stein fails miserably here right from the get go.

Dear bornacatholic,

I agree that in his efforts to properly paint Democrat hypocrisy, Mr. Stein goes too far in white-washing the actions of Mr. Foley.

However, one merely needs to remember the name "Garry Studds" (if his story had been a work of fiction, it would have been dismissed as poorly-written with ridiculously overwrought character names) to put this all into the proper perspective.

Republican pervert: resigns from Congress, faces criminal investigation, even calls for a special prosecutor [* chuckle *].

Democrat pervert: re-elected to Congress, gives flaming self-apologia from the floor of the House of Representatives, no mention of potentially illegal actions requiring criminal investigation.

But that's why we say that the while the Democrat Party is the Party of Satan, we do not say that the GOP is the Party of God, but rather, the Stupid Party.

Since we're horrified by what Foley did, we're doing far too much flagellating while the DemonRats are rolling in the aisles cackling with illicit glee, especially because of what their infinitely corrupt leaders have done and been enthusiastically defended in doing, viz:

-Teddy, the Hero of Chappaquiddick, kills a young woman (manslaughter), and obstructs justice to avoid prosecution. Did the DemonRats, after they knew about it, do anything close to what the Pubbie leadership has already done to Foley?

-The bent one raped Junatia Broaddrick, sexually assaulted Kathleen Wiley and Paula Jones, obstructed justice and perjured himself. Did the DemonRats, after they knew about it, do anything close to what the Pubbie leadership has already done to Foley?

-Barney Frank at the very least sat back and watched while his male paramour ran a homosexual prostitution business out of their jointly occupied 3 bedroom residence and denied knowing anything about it. Did the DemonRats, after they knew about it, do anything close to what the Pubbie leadership has already done to Foley?

-Gary Studs (D, Mass.) did Foley one better by actually buggering a male page. Did the DemonRats, after they knew about it, do anything close to what the Pubbie leadership has already done to Foley?

-William Jefferson (D, LA) got caught with a freezer full of illicitly gained cash that was apparently to be used in a bribery operation for which one of his close associates has already been convicted. Did the DemonRats, after they knew about it, do anything close to what the Pubbie leadership has already done to Foley?

Instead of the disgusting hand wringing, including drivel about it being virtuous to lose, the Pubbies ought to buck up, loudly say they've already done far more in the Foley case than the DemonRats have regularly done in far worse situations over the years, and cite the above examples. That should be our defense. Given the above facts, Ben gets it dead on right okn the hypocrisy point, even though I agree with you that he shows far too much sympathy for the pervert Foley, sympathy that probably comes from his having so many homosexual friends.
